A 32-year-old man was arrested Sunday night after a missing Volusia County teen told investigators she was with the man for several days and the two had sex multiple times.

The 16-year-old girl was reported missing from Volusia County last week. The girl's mother contacted the Marion County Sheriff's Office on Sunday after she spoke with the girl, who told her she was with Edward Lee Gabryszek at his apartment near Ocala.

Investigators went to the apartment complex just after 9 p.m. and found the girl with Gabryszek, according to reports.

Gabryszek told investigators he was not a child molester, just someone who made a mistake, reports state.

He was charged with five counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor. He was being held Monday at the Marion County Jail in lieu of a $75,000 bond.
